J-Walk Chart Tools alternative?

[rd18010]

Back the Excel 2003 era, there was John Walkenbach's "J-Walk Chart Tools" add-in offered as a free part of the paid "Power Utility Pak" utility.
It was the module "Chart Report" that "Produces a detailed report that documents a chart, or produces a report that documents all charts."

That doesn't seem to be available any more.
Is there some modern alternative that can do a report of existing charts, for the purpose of analyzing and documenting a charts design?
E.g., if one downloads someone else's chart, and wants to see how it works.
I would only need to be a read-only type of tool, for information only, with no need to modify anything.

So, what else is out there, in this modern era of Excel 2019 and Microsoft (Office) 365?

Not sure it is supported in 64 it office, but...

The XY Chart Labeler Add-in

Also worth checking Jon Peltier's site Peltier Tech Products and Services - Peltier Tech

I've looked at both "The XY Chart Labeler Add-in" and "Peltier Tech Products and Services" and didn't see the reporting ability that the J-walk tool has, to simply dump some info on the charts in a spreadsheet.

Somehow the original "J-Walk Chart Tools" add-in seems to have vanished from the Internet.
Does anyone know if it would even work in the modern Excels?

All the add-ins I've seen so far are about about creating or modifying existing charts, but I'm looking for more of a documentation type reporting tool.

Sometimes tools are not available forever.

What I'm also wondering is why someone else hasn't taken the idea, and gone further with with it, in the meanwhile.
I'm hoping someone already knows of something similar, that is out there, but hard to find due to how Internet search is, these days.

Fortunately I still have my copy of Power Utility Pak.

Seeing that other J-Walk add-ins were found via the Internet Archive Wayback Machine, I looked, and found the Chart Tool there, too. (I wonder how current it is compared the the one in the PUP.)

Update: the "charttools.xla" files I downlaoded earlier today turned out to be html files, not Excel add-ins, so will try again tomorrow.

Update: I went back and was able to get the actual add-in file. It just took an extra step.

BTW, over on Peltier's site, the lesser known "Jon’s Toolbox" does look like a very useful utility, for working with charts, and making up for what Excel can't do, or do very well.
